Mental Health

[hybrideel]

It means a lot, honestly - especially since having lost my dad (my greatest hero, and source of wisdom), I have nobody to lean on bar you guys.

I know how you feel in regards to that mate. Anytime you need, I'm here to talk

Thanks for letting me get stuff off my chest, guys. It's been a rough day.

thinking of you man. What you’ve done to seek help shows that you want to improve. You are not in denial that is a massive positive mate. Shows that you really love your wife and son. Your motivation to get better is for your family, I hope you find the health practitioners that are kind and can help you to get better mate.

Hang in there Eele, it will get better, mate.

@Eelementary I'm so sorry to hear about here about your situation mate. I cant imagine what you're going through. I hope things improve for you. We're all hear for you.

Good on you @PARRA_FAN . This is a safe place to share and you will never be judged.

What you ^^^ described is common and often people who are feeling down, have the blues for a bit or even suffer from depression, get told to get over it which makes you feel that you are an inconvenience. Agree it that can only send you deeper. The good thing about sharing is that you soon realize that everyone has their moments and the more we share, the more we learn about ourselves. The more we learn about ourselves we can "see" that what we feel is a result of what we think and how we act.

Thank you so much for the support. I was never comfortable a few years backing sharing this type of stuff.

Every now and then I would call Beyond Blue who I would recommend for a chat either over the phone or online, theyre very helpful and understanding and wouldnt judge anyone. I would often feel embarrassed for the mistakes I made like overspending stuff, drinking too much because it was a way for me to escape the demons. I dont want go down that path. Once I fully admitted to what I was doing, not one person judged me, I would occasionally get the "We've all been there mate, you're not alone" but what I didnt want to do was let my family down and feel like a disappointment to my parents and siblings. They supported me all the way after what happened late last year, still are. My little niece gave me a card which really broke me, god love her.

Today has been good not just because of last nights result but people lately have been kind and thats important.

People on these forums have been great and shared some of their stories. I feel good to share of my stories.

I still get nervous on certain things like the future and sometimes afraid I'll go broke or end up alone forever.

I hope I can enjoy this weekend.

Stay strong mate, and keep opening up to us.
You have a wee bit of support you need in this thread.
It may not seem much, but every little thing helps.
I found that out last Saturday.

Thank you for the kind words mate.

Hi, guys.

I saw my GP today, who fired a rocket at my psychiatrist, and she got me into the PTS program to see a psychologist ASAP.

It seems like things are finally looking positive.

That’s so good to hear mate. If only the entire Health system followed suit. Regardless, things are already looking better so hold onto that.

Thought for the day;

Some people don’t know or don’t care about how their flippancy on some topics might actually impact others.

Sometimes it's easier to remain silent I feel and just listen. I am not that opinionated because I feel opinion are shaped by experiences. Change those and you change your opinions.
Peace man

One thing I will agree with you on is that Gender Dysphoria is a mental illness.

* can impact a person’s mental health

Flipancy and (non) acceptance is the main issue with 30% of teens suffering with suicide ideation.

Gender Dysphoria and Suicidal Ideation: Clinical Observations from a Psychiatric Emergency Service

Adolescent gender dysphoria is increasingly common. There has been documentation of the association of gender dysphoria with numerous other psychiatric conditions as well as attempted and completed suicide. The literature is unsettled on specific risk factors for self-harm within this...

I am incredibly well informed on the topic for very personal reasons.

Don’t appreciate being made to feel uncomfortable sharing my opinions and think it’s better for my mental health that I don’t engage any further as it will be too personal and painful to share what I know on this topic.
